Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 584
After Empress Ning lifted the embargo, although she didn't care about anything else, she was the empress after all. Therefore, these concubines still needed to come to Kunning Palace to pay their respects, but they didn't need to come every day.

Empress Ning was not too surprised when she heard the intention of the concubines.Because even she feels unbalanced, let alone them?You know, even the second prince and the fifth princess have never tasted sweet potatoes!

Obviously there are so many sweet potatoes, but the emperor would rather spoil all of them to the imperial concubine than to share with others. It's too outrageous to be partial to the sky.

In view of the fact that the emperor has treated her well during this time, she basically agreed to several things she proposed, and she began to value the second prince. Empress Ning also had a bit of confidence and confidence in persuading the emperor, so she said: "Sisters! I understand what you mean, and I will try my best to persuade the emperor."

Concubine Sun Shu heard the words and said with a smile: "The concubine thanked my sister on behalf of all the younger sisters. We are not short-sighted and rare for that little thing, but, according to the past practice, whenever there is something good, we will share it Come down, this time is the only exception, which really makes us a little confused. I am afraid that I will offend the imperial concubine without knowing it, so I want my sister to ask what's going on, so that we can know what's going on."

When the others heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Empress Ning sighed, nodded and said: "I understand the meaning of all the sisters. In fact, not only are you feeling uneasy, but I also have no confidence in my heart. You all know that although I am a queen, in the eyes of Your Majesty, But it is not as good as a finger of the imperial concubine. If you offend the imperial concubine, even this palace will have to go around without food."

When everyone heard the words, they all felt sorry for each other, and they all sighed.

The Queen scanned around and found that Concubine Zhou De was missing, so she was able to ask, "Why didn't Sister De Concubine come?"

Concubine Sun Shu immediately explained: "Sister Concubine De has caught the cold and has been bedridden for two days. There is no way to come to pay my respects to your mother, and please forgive me."

Empress Ning showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and there was still a slight sense of loss. If she had been in charge of the harem before, she would have known about every trouble at the first time, unlike now, she would only know about it last.

"It turns out that Defei's younger sister is ill. I didn't know it, but it's my fault. Did you invite the imperial doctor?"

A look of worry flashed across Concubine Shu's face, and she said: "Please, but the illness of Concubine De's younger sister is threatening, and the situation doesn't seem optimistic."

Concubine Sun Shu and Concubine Zhou De had always had a good relationship, so they were very concerned about her condition.

"Sister, don't worry too much. I believe that the concubine's sister is auspicious and she will turn the crisis into safety." Empress Ning persuaded.

Concubine Sun Shu could only forcefully smile, and said, "Then I will accept your mother's auspicious words."

What she didn't say was that when the Imperial Concubine learned that Concubine De was seriously ill, she not only invited an imperial doctor for her, but also specially gave her medicinal materials. However, Concubine De was too cautious and never dared to use the medicinal materials she gave her.

The crowd dispersed after talking for a while.

Empress Ning sent someone to check on Emperor Xiande's whereabouts, and learned that the emperor had just come down to court and was receiving ministers at the Qinzheng Hall, and the imperial concubine was in Yongning Palace, so she packed up and planned to go to the Qinzheng Hall later See the emperor.

In the past, when there was no imperial concubine, if she had something to do, she could send someone to tell the emperor. If the emperor was all right, the emperor would come over in person.

But since she had the imperial concubine, she had to go to see the emperor in person.

Unless she really has something important to do, His Majesty will not come here at all.Therefore, most of the time she went to visit the emperor now.

She didn't want the imperial concubine to be there when she went to see the emperor, it would make her feel that they were husband and wife, and she was an outsider, which would make her feel very uncomfortable.Not to mention, she didn't want to see the face of the imperial concubine either.

After Empress Ning went to Qinzheng Hall, she waited outside for a while before seeing Emperor Xiande.

After this period of recuperation, her complexion has improved a lot, and her body is not as thin as when she was in confinement, but she has been suffering from illnesses, so she looks older than ordinary people.

She is also slightly older than Emperor Xian De, if the two stand together, few people think they are husband and wife.

This made her feel very complicated every time she saw the young and handsome Emperor Xian De.

She was already old, but he was still young and in the prime of life, as if he was favored by the heavens. She felt very uncomfortable and even felt a little inferior.

Immediately, she suddenly thought in horror that Emperor Xiande is in his prime, and it will take at least 20 years before he abdicates. His Majesty is also a person who pays attention to health preservation, so he might live longer. You can't ascend the throne until you die, you can only be a prince for a lifetime.

Didn't the former prince force the palace to rebel because he had been a prince for too long and couldn't bear it anymore?This shows that even if her son takes the position of prince, he may not be able to ascend the throne as emperor.

She suddenly understood why the emperor did not appoint a prince for so long.It is useless even to establish a crown prince, unless...

She shuddered suddenly and didn't dare to think about it anymore, because it was too rebellious.

But her heart suddenly beat rapidly, and she couldn't calm down no matter what. Thinking of what her son had revealed to her, she was actually a little ready to move.

Her time is running out, without her escort, even if Liang Tan ascends to the crown prince's position, he probably won't be able to sit securely.Knowing children is like mother, she is very clear about how capable her son is, even if he is allowed to be a conservative king, I am afraid he will not be able to do well.

But who made him her son? Even if he was a dou who couldn't afford it, she would help him to the supreme throne.

In the East Nuan Pavilion, Empress Ning greeted Emperor Xiande.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor...cough coughcough..." Because of the emotional ups and downs just now, Empress Ning's body is weak, and just halfway through the salute, she couldn't help coughing heartbreakingly. His sallow complexion was also slightly flushed.

Emperor Xiande frowned unobtrusively, then asked someone to give the empress a seat with no expression on his face, and said plainly: "The empress is not in good health, she is not recuperating in Kunning Palace, what are you doing here? "
